[h2][color=gold]Church[/color][/h2][/center]

The gunslinger looked confused as Samehana jumped off the roof. Backwards. Ass first. Towards him. [color=gold]"What the...?"[/color] Keeping the grip on his whiskey in his right hand, Church took a step to the right and held out his left arm over where he previously stood, allowing him to perfectly catch the Fishwoman in such a way that it looked like she was casually sitting on his hand and forearm. His arm barely moved as he caught her, as ultimately she wasn't that heavy and Church was strong but if he kept his arm rigid she would've probably complained later that he bruised her or something. With a heavy sigh, Church twisted his arm and moved it back, to dump Samehana onto her feet on the ground. [color=gold]"Sometimes I wonder if you been hit in the head too many times,"[/color] he joked, resting his arm on his guns again and turning to face Sancho. [color=gold]"Nice ass, though."[/color]

He couldn't resist the opportunity to say that, just to see what kind of reaction he'd get from her. Hopefully not a violent one, though Church would see it coming and dodge for sure. Despite being pretty strong himself he knew that Samehana was stronger and a directly blow from her would hurt like hell, assuming it wouldn't knock him out entirely. She had challenged him in the past to fistfights and while he could take on many opponents she was in a different league. She was too fast for him to land hits and so the fights would always turn into more of a challenge to see how long he could survive rather than seeing if he could defeat her. His advanced use of Haki meant he could survive for a long time, but with Samehana having more stamina than him it was always just a matter of time before she'd land a blow and it'd be done. He respected her for her strength and skill, though he didn't exactly respect her intelligence.

Sancho, on the other hand, was a bright kid. Strong in his own right, though Church knew he could handle the kid without using his guns if he had to. But especially he was charismatic. Evidenced by the fact he just convinced several Marines to let three suspicious people, Church being obviously armed, to go by without a bother. [color=gold]"The Marines back in the South Blue woulda just beat you for talking back,"[/color] Church joked, still following behind Sancho alongside Samehana. At the mention of commandeering a ship, Church realized something. If they were to steal a Marine ship then they would have a much easier time at sea. Possibly they'd even find a Log Pose on-board. The ship they had been using for the past few months was small and quite pathetic. It wouldn't be strong enough to survive the trip to the Grand Line, but a Navy galleon might do the trick. [color=gold]"Well, now. That's a fine idea. And we get first pickin' too. Find their best ship and set sail, I assume? If there are guards we should take one or two hostage and throw the rest overboard, I'd say."[/color]
